I seem to have locked out my ORAC
Symptoms:
No relay clunk on power up
No drives working on manual
No relay clunk on E stop activation
Think all was ok 'till I drove cross slide to limit.
Tried reset to no avail.
keyboard beeps and monitor OK
Any advice before I get the hex keys out please.
Thanks

Sounds similar to the symtoms I had with my Orac, my problem was brass swarf in the light connection box fitted to the cross slide, cleaned it out and all was OK.
Martin suggested on this Forum "Remove the cover from the light switch & remove any swarf."

Thanks triac
Will check this out but have managed to get cross slide working by manipulating its limit switch. Relay now clunks on power up but still no movement on main slide.
Will keep fiddling .......
